Only the sound of the big freezer broke the quiet. Hed dreamt of the cave last night? The purring (轻微颤动声) of the freezer had been the sea. Tim pulled on a sweater and put some apples into his schoolbag. It was too early for breakfast. Hed eat after hed been through the cave, sitting on the rocks and staring at the sea. He wished he had a proper pack. His schoolbag would have to do. What else? Sandwiches -but his mother might wake up if he started pulling out bread for sandwiches. Shed want to know why he had to leave so early. He settled for some biscuits, and left a note stuck to the table. Gone to Michaels. Back tonight. Tim. The sky was high and soft and light outside, though the sun still wasnt up. Even the highway up the hill was quiet as he made his way down the street. The wind from the sea was fresh and sweet. The sandhills still breathed heat from yesterdays sun, though the top of the sand was cool. He ran down to the beach impatiently, but there was no one, just dry sand dancing in the early wind and seabirds marching up and down watching the waves. The light changed suddenly. The first rays of sunlight stretched across the sea. The sun was pushing its way over the edge of the world Over the first rocks, along to the point. Tim glanced back. The beach was still empty. The sun sailed higher in the sky. He could see the cave now, even darker in the morning light. The sand turned silver then dark gold as the water flowed away from it. He had to force himself to go closer. Why was it so much more mysterious now? But it would be silly to go back now after so much trouble. He neednt go in all the way.61. What did Tim do at the beginning of the story? A. He left the house quietly. B. He had breakfast at home. C. He left a note on the freezer. D. He put a sweater in his schoolbag.62. He settled for some biscuits (in Paragraph 3) means that Tim A. had to leave the biscuits on the table. B. liked biscuits better than sandwiches. C. had to take biscuits instead of sandwiches.D. could only find some biscuits in the kitchen.63. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the story? A. The sea looked like a piece of gold. B. Seabirds flew away when Tim arrived. C. Tim was the only person on the beach. D. The sky got dark as Tim reached the cave.64. In the story, Tims mood changed from . A. loneliness to craziness B. anxiousness to excitement C. helplessness to happiness D. eagerness to nervousnessB After spending three days in a wheelchair, I was ready to quit. Not only did I have to battle cracked and uneven pavements, I had to deal with the bad attitude of pedestrians and a cold rain. But I didnt give up because of people like Tiffany Payne. Payne, who has been using a wheelchair for 18 years, laughed at me, Imagine trying to get around town in the winter, she said. I could see her point: Youre battling to get to a doctors appointment, but no one has shoveled after a big snowfall. Your choices: Move out and risk getting stuck, or reschedule the appointment. Those of us fortunate enough to get around on our own two legs dont give a second thought to the person in a wheelchair next to us at a crosswalk. That would require us to look down. So I decided to try using a wheelchair to get a sample of what their lives are like. It wasnt long before I saw that people who use wheelchairs are forced to deal with a lot of trouble. During my experiment, I was ignored by store staff while shopping and bumped into by inattentive walkers without so much as an apology. Some people even gave me angry looks as if I were the one at fault. Once in a store, a woman bumped into me trying to get to the new iPad. She didnt say, Excuse me. When salespeople did offer assistance, they talked to people who were with me, instead of me. I wanted to yell, Hey, Im down here! Some salespeople talked to me as though I were a child or acted like they didnt want to be bothered with me. People who use wheelchairs want to be treated like everyone else. They also prehend, so you dont have to speak to them in a childlike, sing-song voice. Its not very appealing, especially when the person is an adult. And most importantly, remember they have feelings that can be hurt just like yours. Spending three days in a wheelchair made me look differently at those who have to use one. I hope you do the same. 65. The author writes the story to . A. help those in wheelchairs gain self-confidenceB. share his experience of acting as a wheelchair userC. ask people to show sympathy for those in wheelchairs D. call on people to respect and help those in wheelchairs66. During his three days in a wheelchair, the author met all of the following difficulties EXCEPT . A. bad road conditions B. poor attitudes of ordinary people C. terrible medical service D. bad weather67. What can we conclude from the article? A. A wheelchair user may feel offended when you do not address him or her directly. B. Assistants in big stores are usually kind to people in wheelchairs. C. People in wheelchairs should fight for fair treatment. D. People in wheelchairs are usually hard to get along with.68. Which of the following statements would the author agree to? A. Look down on a person in a wheelchair. B. Speak to a person in a wheelchair in a sing-song voice. C. Treat a person in a wheelchair as you would treat any other person. D. Offer assistance to a person in a wheelchair without asking for permission.C Our aim is to take our art to the world and make people understand what it is tomove, said David Belle, the founder of parkour (跑酷). Do you love running? It is a good exercise, yet many people find it boring. But what if making your morning jog a creative one? Like jumping from walls and over gaps, and ground rolls? Just like the James Bond in the movie Casino Royale? Bond jumps down from a roof to a windowsill and then runs several blocks over obstacles on the way. It is just because of Bonds wonderful performances that the sport has bee popular worldwide. Yes, thats parkour, an extreme street sport aimed at moving from one point to another as quickly as possible, getting over all the obstacles in the path using only the abilities of the human body. Parkour is considered an extreme sport. As its participants dash around a city, they may jump over fences, run up walls and even move from rooftop to rooftop. Parkour can be just as exciting and charming as it sounds, but its participants see parkour much more than that. Overing all the obstacles on the course and in life is part of the philosophy behind parkour. This is the same as life. You must determine your destination, go straight, jump over all the barriers as if in parkour and never fall back from them in your life, to reach the destination successfully. A parkour lover said, I love parkour because its philosophy has bee my life, my way to do everything.Another philosophy weve learnt from parkour is freedom. It can be done by anyone, at any time, anywhere in the world. It is a kind of expression of trust in yourself that you earn energy and confidence.69. Parkour has bee popular throughout the world because of . A. its founder, David Belle B. the film, Casino Royale C. its risks and tricks D. the varieties of participants70. The underlined word obstacles in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to . A. streets B. objects C. barriers D. roofs71. Which of the following is the philosophy of parkour? A. Sports and extremes. B. Excitement and popularity. C. Dreams and success. D. Determination and freedom.D The Norwegian Government is doing its best to keep the oil industry under control. A new law limits exploration to an area south of the southern end of the long coastline; production limits have been laid down (though these have already been raised; and oil panies have not been allowed to employ more than a limited number of foreign workers. But the oil industry has a way of getting over such problems, and few people believe that the Government will be able to hold things back for long. As a Norwegian politician said last week, We will soon be changed beyond all recognition. Ever since the war, the Government has been carrying out a programme of development in the area north of the Arctic Circle. During the past few years this programme has had a great deal of success: Tromso has been built up into a local capital with a university, a large hospital and a healthy industry. But the oil industry has already started to draw people south, and within a few years the whole northern policy could be in ruins. The effects of the oil industry would not be limited to the north, however. With nearly 100 percent employment, everyone can see a situation developing in which the service industries and the tourist industry will lose more of their workers to the oil industry. Some smaller industries might even disappear altogether when it bees cheaper to buy goods from abroad. The real argument over oil is its threat to the Norwegian way of life. Farmers and fishermen do not make up most of the population, but they are an important part of it, because Norwegians see in them many of the qualities that they regard with pride as essentially Norwegian. And it is the farmers and the fishermen who are most critical of the oil industry because of the damage that it might cause to the countryside and to the sea.72. The Norwegian Government would prefer the oil industry to . A. provide more jobs for foreign workers B. slow down the rate of its development C. sell the oil it is producing abroad D. develop more quickly than at present73. The Norwegian Government has tried to . A. encourage the oil panies to discover new oil sources B. prevent oil panies employing people from northern NorwayC. help the oil panies solve many of their problems D. keep the oil industry to something near its present size74. According to the passage, the oil industry might lead northern Norway to . A. the development of industry B. a growth in population C. the failure of the development programme D. the development of new towns75. In the south, one effect of the development of the oil industry might be . A. a large reduction on unemployment B. a growth in the tourist industry
